View DetailsRichland was created for the sole purpose of housing the workers at the federal Hanford site. The U.S. Government owned all the buildings and land, offering them to workers for a small rent. The engineers in the Army oversaw much of the city's planning. Homes were allocated based on the size of the worker's family, causing the need for several floor plans known today as the "Alphabet Homes." While Richland is known for more than Hanford, its historical Army roots can be seen throughout the streets running across town. Most roads have been named after famous Army engineers, including the main road - George Washington Way (aka G-Way) named after our first president, a surveyor. Today, Richland real estate consists mainly of single-family homes. Classic style and modern features are blended effortlessly to create beautiful dynamic neighborhoods with excellent curb appeal. Both existing properties and new communities offer affordable real estate perfect for new homebuyers and young families. In addition, community events, outdoor recreation, and quality city services make Richland a desirable community to put roots down. Richland homes are affordable, with value-adding features such as upgraded kitchens and bathrooms. Typical homes for sale in the area are modern properties built in the past 20 years. However, older mid-century homes are also available in Richland. These properties are mostly renovated to appeal to contemporary aesthetics and standards.
